He was first arraigned in court on June 13, 2018, where he pleaded not guilty to the two-count charge of murder contrary to Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Judgment was finally delivered on Friday, May 20 2022, when he was arraigned before a Lagos High Court on a two-count charge of murder brought against him by the Lagos State Government.
The presiding judge, Justice Bolanle Okikiolu-Ighile, convicted the 54-year-old man and sentenced him to death by hanging on both counts.
